SOFTBALL
17 in a row, that is the new win streak for the #6 UIndy softball team.

The Hounds returned to Naptown with 13-6 and 6-1 wins to their names.
Those wins led exceptionally well into their home opening games against Truman and Quincy where the Hounds had an astonishing 43-10 run differential.
MEN'S LACROSSE
Senior day was a success and a half with the No. 6-ranked Greyhounds rattling off a 21-10 victory against the visiting Davenport Panthers.

The Bixby, Okla., native fell just one ground ball shy of the record, as well, finishing with 17.
